Ok, let's change the mood. Here is some stuff for my 1981 Supergoose build. Thanks AussieFloval for the tuffs and snakebelly tires!

Nice clean tuffs, very nice ;-)
Cool man.
You running a chain ring on each side?
LOL

Just need to get my wheels back from being built.

that's a nice RL - I always loved the red and white redlines. What are you doing with the pedals?
Nice! That was my first race bike as a kid, but a chrome version. That's definitely on my list.
I had an Elina lightening bolt seat on my original bike. They use to be rare as until the Hong Kong mafia got their hands on a huge stash. They're going for just $70 now.

so you are the one that got AussieFloval tuff...they were a very nice set to...
The pedals are used but nice DXs.
The end caps are pretty good - they just need a clean up.
I have some NOS MKS pedals in red but the DXs look kinda cool, even though they are not NOS.
Most of the rest of the bike is NOS apart from the V-bars.
They are Redline Vs but they are pretty banged-up on the cross bar. They'll be covered by a pad.
I also stuffed-up the placement of the fork decal you see in the pic - I had it on upside down and had to pull it off and re-apply. Fine for pics but not 100%
I was pretty happy to get that DiaCompe lever and the Oakley .5s.
This frame and fork was given to me by Steve88 - it was pretty poked so this is a nice little 'salvage job'.
The wheels are red Ukai box (from Waza) and SunTour LF hubs, black fat/skinny Cheng Shins (awesome Comp III copies).
I have some beat up Redline vinyl pads to put on there too.

Marty - yeah the Hong Kong boys have really got the market for Elina seats into shape.
Still, if you want blue....
The Redline has a NOS black Kashimax Aero that I had 'laying around' that I though could be put to good use.
The frame and fork originally came with a red Elina Redline seat which someone else has - I'd like to get it back and put it on this (even though it's pretty used).
This also came with a Redline fluted posted which is cleaned up and used on this build and a Redline Brute stem.
The stem was faded pink so I caustic soda'd it and put it on my GHP.
That is just a standard SunTour stem on this build.

You mean the hong kong mafia is now trafficking BMX parts? Try smuggling a few kilos of elina seats through customs rammed up your back passage - ouch!
or even worse - hutch pedals
Chris, was that supposed to be a secret??? I still want your Robinson! LOL
Dugga6, um . . . no! I don't mean that dude! LOL
Andy, ozdirtboy found this blue Elina in a bike shop in Sydney. Luckily he didn't need it. It's going on my chrome/blue Kuwahara build.

Martin, do you know the top tube difference between the pro and expert size GT? thanks
post pic's of them and will let you know Martin
Yes, GT pro is 18.5" from centre of the head tube to centre of the seat tube. Expert is 17.5". Here's my expert built up - original chrome and decals in awesome condition:
Martin
Martin
Santa Anna GT has a 1983 serial number, very clean dropouts and also has a 1982 Nora Cup decal on the seat tube.
I think im GT PRO is 18 1/2inch c to c

thanks martin, looks real nice
No worries dugga6.
I'm hoarding too much stuff and I don't even get to enjoy it being so far away. I'll be sure to offer anything I let go of here first.
Chris, now I want your Robinson and your GT (if it's chrome). I have another black one in the works but can't find the black backed Santa Anna decals - been looking for over 1.5 years!!!

nice pics you guys, but not of all of us have adsl/cable!
Chris, do you know if it can it be chromed? Some frames can be painted but are too far gone for chroming.
Martin - did you try that guy for thr black GT decals I sent you the address for?
I'll post some pics of my 84 GT Pro - it's been 'finished off' now so due for some nice new pics.
Chris - I recently hooked up my mate Steve88 with a 1983 Reynolds Quad. It is painted the same colour as your tan Ripper and has black unstamped Landing Gear with tan LG decals.
Completey repainted - almost NOS condition.
It's real cool but not built up yet.
I managed to get it for $300 US including a 3-piece BB and Hatta headset included.

I would say NO but im no chromer and i would not like you to get it and then you can not chrome it....
Andy, yes I tried him. He's all out and so is everybody else.
Chris, understand, either would I! Thanks.
Chris, understand, either would I! Thanks.
The Tan PK was NOT mine its Peter from QLD the black PK was mine
chris, i bought my quad on pommy e-bay about 4 months ago. Frame, fork and original padset cost me GBP 200. Took about 8 weeks to arrive. They come up on uk ebay quite often - usually the same ones cause they set the reserve too high. Alans have had a red one for months at GDP 350. There have been a few for sale in the US but getting them shipped is a nightmare. I've been chasing a looptail quad but I've given up - the last one I saw went for US $1000
Boys :
As long as you prepare/repair the frame, ANY frame can be chromed !
There's nothing impossible about filling holes or rust bites then smoothing over ready for chroming.
Martinbike :
Black-backed GT decals ??????
BITD they were CLEAR backed, as used on Greg Hills Blue GT Pro F+F.
Chris:
DCBMX Has a quad frame and or quad F+F on the bay now.
;-)

Marty, my chromer said it couldn't be done. Will try another guy. Thanks!
Yes, black backed - here's part of the 1983 GT catalog:

I got the info from a reliable source that these decals are black backed and not clear backed.
Although looking at that pic from the catalog now, doesn't seem to have the white lettering as with the repros. Hhhmmmm, maybe they are clear backed and I can finish this damn build!!!

I think they would have been clear so they did not have to make stickers for every color bike
Huh??? Posted twice - weird.
I think that catalog pic may be from 84.
Hey Chris, can you post pics of your blue GT clearly showing the decals please? Thanks

Strange, as i currently have clear ones here, and have only ever known of chrome/clear backed ones BITD......
I wouldnt have thought GT would make such small runs of blue, black and other colours for their limited colour frame range, which is more than likely the reason the went with CLEAR....
As for your chromer, he's an idiot !!!!!! ;-)

The Quads for sale in UK are total rip-offs.
£300+ is just someone's idea of a joke.
For a 1983+ Reynoylds Quad in NOS or retsored condition you should being paying no more than $350 USD.
Looptail Quads are a differrent story altogether and yes, $1000 US is not uncommon.
As far as shipping goes - I'd rather have stuff shipped from the US - it's way cheaper and faster.
The Quad cost a tad under $70US to ship here and got here in 4 days.
UK shipping is expensive and can be nightmare for larger items.
DC (Darren Chan) is a straight-up seller with the best prices and the best shipping prices on the planet.
You can't go wrong with getting something from him.

Yep, DC is ace :-)
GT decals - yeah, clear was a 1984 thing.
They were all chrome-backed up til then.
The retail frame colours up to 83 were chrome, red, blue and black.
All had the chrome backed decals.
I've seen a couple of black pre-84 GT builds with seemingly clear backed decals but I know Randy did some with black backing for black frames.

Mr.BMX are you going to sell/Trade me your 83 quad when you get your looptail quad
